Mt Earnslaw sits in the Forbes Mountain Range and is the highest peak at the head of Lake Whakatipu (2,830m).
A climb of Mt Earnslaw will involve some very steep hiking and some scrambling. In summer conditions there is a small, remnant glacier to be crossed and then the rest of the climb will be on rock; in winter conditions much of the route will be covered in snow and ice. The views on the way up and from the summit are incredible over the lake and the Southern Alps, including the Darran Mountains in Fiordland and Mt Aspiring.
You will need to have a good level of fitness and a head for heights, as well as being comfortable to carry a 12+kg backpack.
